DV 2017 Winners

Susie's question is an important one. If he entered the lottery as married when he was in fact, still single, that is grounds for disqualification.

Hi all,

Quick questions about DV 260 form.

For the 2-year training/experience question on current job – my current job actually requires at least a Bachelor degree (but no previous experience), should I say Yes or No ?

Many thanks

Why can't you submit your own form? It's not a difficult form to complete.

Veronica i am pretty sure that if your now husband put you as his wife while you were not then you will be automatically denied and also probably some consequences for lying on form too..

Agree with Emily, we have also seen there tend to be more problems with wrong info when someone else submits.

Fill it in to be correct at the date of submission. You can make any updates at the interview. Remember you will need a certificate of military service for the interview as well, that you can wait to get until you have finished.

They just ask for details on the current job, then there is that question:

"Does this job require at least 2 years of training or experience?"

[EmilyW 1,222]

Well, if it requires 'training OR experience', then surely the answer is 'yes' if if requires a Bachelor's degree to get that job.

[EmilyW 1,222]

You didn't get an answer because you didn't ask the question. At least, you didn't ask the question on this thread. We're not psychics.

Hi Mizuko,

I think they refer to the qualifying occupations... I have a Bachelors and 8+ years experience in my current occupation but still ticked "No" because my occupation is not in the qualifying "job zone 4" from the O*net Online Database.

[SusieQQQ 11,584]

I wouldn't worry about matching up with o*net for this question. That matters if you are specifically trying to qualify through work experience and requires other evidence at interview. For the DS260: If the job requires a bachelors, then yes is the correct answer as it requires more than 2 years of training.

Although jewlz,I confess to finding your situation strange - are you overqualified for the job you are doing? I would expect that most jobs that *require* a degree *and* have 8 years relevant experience would be in an acceptable job zone for DV work experience qualification. In other words - just because you have a bachelors does not mean that the job requires it - and the latter is what the question asks. But in any case in your situation too (jewlz) if your current job does require the degree and/or more than 2 years experience then you should have answered yes.

I'm advising a family member in a self-employment situation of basically the same thing: technically (and surprising to me, as someone who works with O*Net on a regular basis in my day job) being a fashion designer is job zone 3, despite the fact that some fashion designers are deemed by CIS to be so highly skilled that they manage to snag EB-1 visas. We are going to check the box and explain that it takes more than two years to build a brand and learn the advanced techniques she uses to design high quality products. Answering "no" in her case would be a bit of an insult to her business and profession and not convey the general impression of someone who is well prepared to integrate into the US labor market, though we are quite certain that it will be a moot point as she definitely qualifies for the DV on the basis of her educational background.
